I have stage fright. And thinking that someone is going to read this makes me more conscious and pulls me back. So, I will think that I am writing to my Diary and just spill what comes to my mind.

I am in the middle of my extravagantly long summer vacation of almost 3 months and boredom of complete rest and luxury of doing nothing has hit me to its peak. Doing new stuff and watching different kinds of movies has become my routine and for the first time I googled up on 'How to waste time on internet'. A lot of suggestions were listed and most of them didn't excite me at all. Writing a blog caught my extremely small span of attention. I had thought of writing blogs many times but they just remained a thought every time as I could never figure out what should I write about. But this time, I wont follow my routine of withdrawing back. So, here I am struggling with my first blog.

When the tiresome and stressful exams ended, the journey towards Home Sweet Home began. I was traveling in a flight. Luckily, I got a window seat after requesting :) . While I was in the middle of the atmosphere, I just felt peaceful, calm, fresh, serine, harmonious and every feeling you can relate to the colors green, blue and white. I was actually able to sit relaxed and tension free after couple of weeks as exams got over and I was left with almost 3 sleepless days and night, I did feel like zombie in the end as I was really feeling numb after straining my eyes and brain way too much. So, that 2 hrs of solitude with nature and silence without any stress all around me except that thin layer of super advanced man made material was what i really needed after such unpleasant irksome days . Although that man made thing was for real but virtually in my mind I did not feel it as I was as a little kid at heart engrossed and completely involved in observing the Gigantic white clouds with innumerable shapes and sizes juggling between the endlessly infinite light blue ocean of atmosphere. I was totally into this other world just a few inches besides me.
I just played a little game to myself of imagination and visualization after finely observing a cloud and then splash some dizzy colors onto them and create a sculpture in my own mind. But sometimes the same cloud appeared to be two totally different entity. So its true that anyone can look at the same thing and have just different perspectives. Although both of them have difference in opinion still none of them are wrong. Its just a difference of opinion, no matter how much you argue, the other person can't see with your eyes.

When I was lost in this new partially virtual world of mine. The first thing that I compared to this place was that to a desert. Yes, it very much resembled a desert, uneven structures of same kind with just a single color with its varying shades, beautiful, silent, dormant yet charming in its own way and a feeling of pleasure and delight fills your soul. The difference between the two is that of only science - temperature, humidity, elements, distance above sea level etc. So suddenly a phrase struck in my mind "Desert in the sky". And not just the name I even felt like I was in one of the natural deserts high above the crowd and rush of life. As I have written many poems although not very outstanding ones, I certainly knew that this is going to be the topic of my new poem. I was more delighted and joyous at that thought of mine. I thought of few words and phrases that I can use in my poem. But unluckily somehow I was never able to write a poem about it.

Then my journey was about to get over within few minutes when the plane entered the through the gulf landmass. The clear distinction of the sea and land was visible like black and white can be differentiation without  any grey area of overlap. Just kilometers below me were the famous Arab deserts. The view was quite simple yet spectacular just like the simple picture of huge clouds in our atmosphere. It seemed like this technological advanced nation has at least saved some of these picturesque deserts in the outskirts and tried not to change every piece of land which they have into just another architecturally excellent skyscraper ruining the natural beauty with man made extravaganzas as seen everywhere else on their roads. Truly, that sight of uniformly colored natural landscape with uneven slopes and dunes of sand made me feel colorful inside. Even after knowing well about the blazing heat that landmass had, it made me feel soothingly cool and placid. These elementary and uncomplicated sights vanished my fatigue and stress from my body which was pertaining since weeks in just few exquisite and graceful moments.

I have traveled in flights countless times before this and have also enjoyed the view from my window seat. But what made a difference to my rejoice and amusement that made me feel so ecstatic this time had a minor variation. Every time the view underneath and around me pleased my eyes but this time somehow I saw the same thing with my heart and it touched my soul. It caught my real attention and opened the doors of imagination in my mind. Similarly what I think is we should give our heart and soul to something we want to do in our life. Because the same thing that you will do with whole heart will give you true satisfaction and gratification. Sometimes we just need to change the way we introspect a situation before us.

Hereby, its the end of my first blog. Even I was unaware of what I was going to write until my figures
hit the keys automatically.
